Since wedding season is in full affect, and although I didn’t think it was humanly possible, I am stuck to my computer more than ever before. My fifth arm, if you will. I have images, albums, editing, and emails coming out my ears, and loving every gosh darn second of it. Because of this my brain is slightly fried, and sentences these days are only being formed on an kindergarten level. Usually something along the lines of: Crabs? Yes Please. Needs water soon. And although no one is around to hear it at three in the morning, I often stutter, I.NEED.SLEEP. As you can tell, I’m trying to save the brain cells for adult conversations that I may be forced into having. So, today, I thought I’d do things a little different. Today, I will answer some frequently asked questions. If you like it, and keep asking questions, I will continue. Drum roll por favor.
How did you get started?
I have always had an interest in photography, and had an SLR since I was in high school. I loved photography, and my camera was a permanent fixture. After college, I worked for a government contractor in Annapolis, when I got laid off…22 getting laid off…what the heck?!? So in desperate need of money I got a job in a restaurant. I didn’t really have a choice, but would have rather not considering I went to college, have a degree, and hoped of one day working for the government. Then one day, it dawned on me, why not do something that I love and get paid for it…DUH. Yes, I’m retarded, it took me that many years to figure it out! I shot my best friends’ little sisters wedding and it took off from there. The referrals that I’ve gotten from my past clients are bigger and better than any advertising that I could pay for. So I started my blog and it just soared.
What is your favorite lens?
Hands down 50mm 1.2. The blur, the crisp, it was love at first sight. Although on a much more affordable level, but still super awesome is the 50mm 1.4. I always recommend to people… start off with good lenses. You can always upgrade your camera, but your lenses are where it’s at.
What is your favorite image, ever?
Ever? Geesh. Such a hard time picking ONE. But, it could very well be this one.

Ernst - I’m very impressed with all this… Miniflu has got talent! It’s probably a good thing that you didn’t pick up this hobby until after I ceased all the shenanigans in Bethesda :)May 29, 2009 – 11:05 pm
